Quote: AddPrinterConnection( ) Action: Adds a connection to the specified printer for the current user. Syntax: ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("printer name") Parameters: Printer name The (share)name of the printer to which to connect. Remarks: This function is available only on Windows NT family, and can be used only to connect to printers on a server running the Windows NT/2000/XP operating system. When Windows NT connects to the printer, it may copy printer driver files to the local computer. If the user does not have permission to copy files to the appropriate location, ADDPRINTERCONNECTION fails, and @ERROR returns ERROR_ACCESS_DENIED. Returns: 0 Printer connection established Error code Function failed See Also: DelPrinterConnection( ), SetDefaultPrinter( ) Example: If ADDPRINTERCONNECTION ("\\vleerbeer\hp laserjet 4") = 0 ? "Added printer connection...." Endif _________________________ (... better days ahead)

Setting this script as a startup script would solve that problem. However keep in mind that you can not do "InGroup" statements when placed as Startup as it is not the user thats running the script but rather the System account.

Lonkero Lonkero KiX Master Guru Registered: 2001-06-05 Posts: 22346 Loc: OK	you told in PM that this was on vista. I currently don't have a vista at my disposal, but tomorrow I should receive one laptop with it. so, if you have time and nobody else jumps in, I shall try it out. _________________________ ! download KiXnet
